EXAMPLE 3 Performance measurement of nitric oxide electrochemical sensor
Adopting a three-electrode system, taking the glassy carbon electrode coated with the COF-366-Fe/GA composite material on the surface and prepared in the example 2 as a working electrode, a platinum wire as a counter electrode, a saturated calomel electrode as a reference electrode, and an electrolyte solution of 0.01M PBS (pH 7.4), and meanwhile preparing a PBS (1.8 mM) solution containing saturated nitric oxide, and detecting the performance of the glassy carbon electrode by using an electrochemical workstation through various methods;
the CV curve of a COF-366-Fe/GA modified glassy carbon electrode is tested in nitric oxide solutions with different concentrations by adopting a cyclic voltammetry method, the scanning rate is set to be 0.1V/s, the scanning range is 0-1.2V, the experimental result is shown in figure 8, and the result shows that in the concentration range of 0-432 mu M, the response current is gradually increased along with the increase of the concentration, the nitric oxide concentration and the current response form a linear relation, and the oxidation peak of nitric oxide appears at 1.05V;
by utilizing a timing current method, applying 1.05V of potential, continuously adding nitric oxide solutions with different concentrations into an electrolyte during testing, wherein the time interval is 50 s, recording a relation curve of response time and current value to obtain an i-t diagram of the sensor to nitric oxide, and as a result, as shown in fig. 9, after adding nitric oxide with different concentrations, the current response of the sensor is continuously increased and reaches a steady state within a relatively fast time, the response time is less than 3s, the reproducibility is good, meanwhile, a good relation exists between the nitric oxide concentration and the current response, the linear response range is 0.18-400 mu M, and the detection limit is 30 nM;
in addition, a timing current method is adopted for anti-interference experiments, solutions of different substances of 36 mu M are sequentially added into the electrolyte, the result is shown in fig. 10, the result shows that the response current is almost unchanged when anti-interference ions are added, and the current is rapidly increased when the nitric oxide solution is added, so that the sensor has good anti-interference capability and selectivity;
the response of the sensor placed for different days to nitric oxide is tested under the voltage range of 0-1.2V by adopting a cyclic voltammetry, the same sensor is used during testing, the concentration of nitric oxide added every time is kept unchanged after the test is carried out every 5 days, the test is carried out for 5 times, and the result is shown in figure 11, which shows that the stability of the sensor in 20 days is basically consistent, and the stability of the sensor is good;
by adopting cyclic voltammetry, an electrolytic cell is a culture dish for culturing cells, a PBS solution with the concentration of 0.01M and the pH value of 7.4 is used as an electrolyte, CV curves of nitric oxide released by the cells under the stimulation of L-Arg and L-Name medicines are tested, and simultaneously, the cells release nitric oxide under the stimulation of different concentrations of L-Arg medicines are tested, and the result is shown in figure 12, and it can be seen that the sensor can detect the nitric oxide released by the cells in real time, and at low dose of L-Arg, the nitric oxide released by the cells depends on the medicine concentration, however, the peak current intensity is not completely proportional to the higher dose of L-Arg, which is probably attributed to the complex biosynthesis process of the nitric oxide in the living cells;
the MTT method (3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium ammonium bromide) was used to test the cytotoxicity of COF-366-Fe/GA on human umbilical vein endothelial cells. As shown in FIG. 13, after 24 hours of incubation with high concentration of COF-366-Fe/GA (2 mg/mL), the survival rate of human umbilical vein endothelial cells remained above 80%, indicating that COF-366-Fe/GA has low toxicity to living cells and good biocompatibility.
In conclusion, the porphyrin covalent organic framework/graphene aerogel composite material (COF-366-Fe/GA) electrochemical sensor has the advantages of quick response, high sensitivity, good selectivity and excellent stability when being used for measuring nitric oxide. In addition, the sensor can be flexibly used for identifying nitric oxide secreted by a complex biological system in real time. This makes the method universally applicable in real life and industrial production.
